Kobe Bryant – Determined To Win

Kobe Bryant was a fierce competitor who entered the NBA directly from high school. He devoted his entire career to the Los Angeles Lakers and won five championships. Gifted on and off the court, Kobe’s devotion to his family, career and leadership made him one of the most praised athletes of our generation.

Kobe was also a vocal advocate for mental health awareness – especially for children. He spearheaded a children’s podcast to share important life lessons, co-wrote a young adult novel, and worked with Why We Rise, a campaign from the LA County Department of Mental Illness.
